What we do
Kitchen Island Installation
An island is the most requested addition in a kitchen remodel and the one most often defeated by the room it goes into. The constraint is the space around it, not the island itself.
Clearance decides whether it works
An island needs walkway on the sides that get used, and enough of it that appliance doors and drawers can open while someone stands there. A room that cannot give that up ends up with an island that is technically installed and practically in the way. This is worth testing with tape on the floor before it is worth pricing.
Islands are rarely just cabinetry
Most islands acquire power, and many acquire a sink or a cooktop. Adding circuits is electrical work; adding a sink is plumbing work. Both are separately licensed in this metro, and both are the kind of change that turns an otherwise exempt project into a permitted one — Overland Park exempts cabinet installation but explicitly not the electrical or plumbing that comes with it.
The floor underneath
Running services to an island means getting them there, which is a question about what is beneath the floor. If your kitchen sits above a basement or crawlspace, that route is usually accessible; over a slab it is a different and more disruptive job. Establish which you have before deciding the island has a sink in it.
